Soundtrack to Your Life

If you can hear me

And know that I'm right here

I heard your heartbeat

It took away the fear

'Cause my life is sliding

I tried to ride the wave

It came down, crashing

It's time to start again

Backwards to go forward

Left at every corner

Been there and back again

And when the music ends

Your life is a flashback

A question, a photograph

A statement, a story, a struggle

A chance to laugh

'Cause if you don't laugh, you cry

A last crescendo when you die

So, hit the rewind and listen

It's the playback

The soundtrack to your life

First step, your last breath

Everything's been planned

There's questions and answers

You'll never understand

I hold on, but let go

Give you room to breathe

Remember, the best things

Were never mine to keep

Starting at the ending

You won't break while you're bending

Been there and back again

And when the music ends

Your life is a flashback

A question, a photograph

A statement, a story, a struggle

A chance to laugh

'Cause if you don't laugh, you cry

A last crescendo when you die

So, hit the rewind and listen

It's the playback

The soundtrack to your life

The soundtrack to your life

That it goes by like a bullet

And my name

It may be different than yours

But, we are the same

Beat up, broken, back for more

I'll be dragging my own ass off the floor

I've throw myself right in it

What's the point if you don't live it?

If you can hear me

And know that I'm right here

I heard your heartbeat

It took away the fear

Your life is a flashback

A question, a photograph

A statement, a story, a struggle

A chance to laugh

'Cause if you don't laugh, you cry

A last crescendo when you die

So, hit the rewind and listen

It's the playback

The soundtrack to your life
